Sigg Bottles with BPA

My mommy clipped a newspaper article and sent it to me last week and I thought I'd share because it's kinda important I guess. This isn't the article she sent me, but it's from the Sigg website:

I'm bummed that I have to send back my water bottles from when I was a little kid. They were really rad and they don't make the same designs anymore :(
why would they even put BPA in their bottles? the whole point on sigg is to be BPA-free. that is serious silliness. of course it ended up leeching.
Indeed. The article that my mom sent was all "it's crazy because people bought Siggs to get away from the bad stuff." We got our bottles in 1993. I've been drinking out of them for yeeeears. Sigh. I probably have brain cancer. At least I get new ones for pretty much free.
this sounds bad.
buuuut, I did have to google 'sigg' and 'BPA' before having any idea what you were talking about : /
i drink out of glass jars.
yeah, it sucks. I liked my old design too. but I think you should do what my mom did, which was bring our old siggs to eastern mountain sports, where they sell them, and they gave her a store credit for mine, which she gave to me and I used to get a new klean kanteen! woot! take THAT, sigg!
